The System.Array class implements several interfaces such as IList, IEnumberable, and so on. However, when defining an array of specific types such as string[] or Foo[] I have noticed those implement the generic versions of IList and IEnumerable.
I am at a loss where this is defined. For instance, I know that arrays are reference type object derived from System.Array, however looking at the IL I see no formal implementation of this.
It would be really nice if the SDK documentation would fill me in on these details, particularly the interfaces that are implemented. I have not seen where IList and IEnumerable are tagged on to System.Array and there is no System.Array.
How am I supposed to know that string[] implements IList and IEnumerable if it isn't documented?
